I mean we all know we should do it but how many of us are really good at managing the time we’re given?

In this post I’m going to show you 3 of the top time management secrets you can use right now to get more done in less time.

Ready to start?

The first tip is to bulk similar tasks and do them all at once. By bulking similar tasks your brain programs itself to do them more efficiently. It doesn’t have to change gears and expend precious minutes thinking of what to do next.

The second tip is to get yourself an egg timer, I myself use a handy timer right on my computer called Timer Utility by JR Productions. By using a timer you set a deadline in your head for how much time you’ve allotted to the task at hand. Naturally you’ll race to beat the deadline, especially if you’ve set it a little short.

Remember: Keep your timer sessions between 30 minutes to an hour, and then take a mandatory break between 5 and 10 minutes. This will keep you fresh and ready to go.

The third tip is to work at a fast pace. If you’re typing type furiously, if you’re talking, talk fast, whatever it is do it as quickly as possible. As you practice this you’ll find yourself completing your tasks much quicker and much easier because you’re so used to doing them in that manner.

Don’t forget to slow down and unwind at the end of your work period, otherwise you’ll be heading for collapse.

If you’ll implement the above steps you’ll start to notice an immediate benefit just by trying them out. Your time working will be better spent and you’ll get more done.
